Held during the opening week of the United Nations General Assembly, Rare Earth is an invitation-only salon convening senior diplomats, global investors, private sector leaders, and international development experts to explore the future of U.S.–Africa relations through the prism of critical minerals, energy diplomacy, and economic diplomacy.

Africa holds 30–40% of the world’s known mineral resources—cobalt, lithium, graphite, and rare earths that are essential for clean energy, AI, and global infrastructure. As the U.S. seeks to secure resilient and ethical supply chains, now is the time to forge strategic alliances rooted in shared prosperity and trust.

This intimate evening will feature dialogue and an address by leading global experts on Africa’s mineral and energy future and US-Africa relations, along with curated networking designed to catalyze cross-border partnerships.

Join us for an evening of insight, influence, and international connection during one of the most important diplomatic weeks of the year.
